And for 2006... National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said 43,443 people were killed on the highways.
What are we fighting a war for, if we can't even protect innocent men, women, AND CHILDREN on our homeland's highways?
I'm thinking that our billions and billions (ala Carl Sagan) of taxpayer dollars could have been much better spent if we had actually concentrated on reducing the death rate on our own highways.
Oh, and how about education?
Clean water?
Cancer research?
Science research?
Curbing gang violence in our own cities?
Drug rehabilitation programs?
Suicide prevention?
Crime prevention?
How many more innocent United States citizens have to die (on the roads, wars, schools, etc.) before we realize that violence is NOT the answer?
